Score any public figure on the Cultural Extremity Index — a deterministic five-axis ideology profiler powered by Wikipedia.
No sign-up. No API keys. Just a name.
You need Node.js installed. If you don't have it:
- Go to nodejs.org
- Download the LTS version and install it
- Restart your terminal
That's it.
Option 1 — Run once (no install required, npx downloads it automatically):
npx epsilver-cei "Name Here"
Option 2 — Install globally and use anytime:
npm install -g epsilver-cei
Then just:
cei "Name Here"
Examples:
cei "Noam Chomsky"
cei "Jordan Peterson"
cei "Taylor Swift" --first
--first skips the search result selector and picks automatically.
Fetches the Wikipedia article for the person, runs it through a heuristic keyword scoring engine, and outputs a CEI score across five axes:
| Axis | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Establishment | Alignment with institutional power |
| Justice | Emphasis on rights and equity |
| Tradition | Nationalism and heritage framing |
| Conflict | Tolerance for confrontation |
| Rigidity | Absolutism and rejection of compromise |
The final CEI score (0–100) reflects overall ideological deviation from center. Primary Lean is either Woke (progressive) or Chud (reactionary).
All scoring is deterministic keyword matching. Same input always produces the same output. You can read exactly how it works at culturalextremityindex.com.
